What To Expect On A Sunday Morning
Thanks for your interest in Christ Fellowship Church. We would love to have you join us for worship on any Sunday morning. Here are some things to expect when you visit our worship services:
1. Expect a small, friendly congregation.
Because we are a church plant, we generally have 50 or so people in attendance. We love having a relatively small group. Expect to meet people and not slip in and out without being noticed. If you are visiting for the first time, you will be asked to fill out a visitor card and will be given a gift as a token of appreciation for your visit.
2. Expect contemporary music with deep, biblical content.
Our music style is contemporary with a band providing the accompaniment. However, our main concern is the content of the songs. We sings praise songs, hymns, modern hymns - anything with good, Christ-centered lyrics. Expect to stand (if you are able) for usually six to seven songs per service.
3. Expect prayer and Scripture readings.
We value communion with God through prayer. During the service we will pray through ACTS (Adoration, Confession, Thanksgiving, and Supplication). These are all very important aspects of how Christians should pray. We also value the public reading of the Word (1 Tim 4:13). We usually read rather long passages of Scripture. It's God's Word to man. Why would we not?
4. Expect to hear sermons series from books of the Bible.
Our sermons are most often expository sermons - that means we preach through books of the Bible, rather than on topics. Expect our sermons to last 30 to 40 minutes. The preaching of the Word is the climax of the worship service.
5. Expect to take the Lord's Supper the first of every month.
On the first of every month, we observe the Lord's Supper - one of the two ordinances of the church. The Lord's Supper is a special time when we remember the death and resurrection of Christ and proclaim his return. Expect to come to the front and take bread from one loaf and be poured a cup of grape juice.
6. Expect that we will love your children.
We believe that children are blessing from the Lord and a wonderful picture of how to receive the Kingdom of God (Luke 18:17). We provide child care for children under the age of five. We will take good care of your children and provide a good and beneficial time while their parents are in worship.
